As an inquisitive kid growing up in Murrieta, Corey Taylor had an early start in electronics by taking apart family TV remotes and other small devices to see 鈥渨hat鈥檚 really going on behind that button鈥�: microcontrollers, LEDs, resistors, capacitors.

They didn鈥檛 always get restored to working condition.

Now Taylor has more of an educational foundation to draw upon as he accomplishes a noteworthy 鈥渇irst鈥� at 色情视频 this month that also turns out to be something of a family tradition: with the conclusion of the fall semester, he becomes the first graduate of the College of Engineering鈥檚 new master鈥檚 program in computer engineering (MSCompE). 

Taylor, who began with the program鈥檚 launch in fall 2023, finished the 10-course program in three semesters, shaving a semester off the typical timeline.

鈥淚t was more of a random occurrence,鈥� Taylor said when asked what the achievement means to him. 鈥淢aybe I wasn鈥檛 looking for it. But it鈥檚 a pretty cool achievement to have as a good conversation starter.鈥�

The toughest part came first, Taylor said, but the subsequent classes tailored to software engineering were 鈥渆asier to learn,鈥� as he puts it.

After pursuing his interest in electronics in high school, where he took his first engineering course, worked on circuit boards and built his own computers, Taylor delved more deeply into software engineering at Cal State San 色情视频s, graduating in 2023. He liked the idea of continuing his education in a brand-new program, where he could focus on software development.

鈥淚 didn鈥檛 need to get a job right away,鈥� he said in a chat this month in a College of Engineering conference room. It was more like, maybe I should look into a master鈥檚 program to be more competitive in this field.鈥�

A full-time approach seemed like the right way to go. Taylor took three courses his first semester, then four, then three again to finish it off. As fall semester graduates typically do, he plans to walk in the ceremony next May.

Professor Baris Aksanli credits Taylor鈥檚 fast-paced graduation to 鈥渉is responsible, methodical approaches to perform the project tasks.鈥�

Santosh Nagaraj, graduate advisor for the MSCompE, confirmed that Taylor is the only graduate of the program this semester. He said the master鈥檚 program was launched to reflect the latest dynamics of the field.

鈥淐omputer Engineering is a highly sought-after field today owing to exciting new developments in artificial intelligence, computer vision, etc.,鈥� Nagaraj wrote in response to an email query. 

鈥淪tudents can specialize in areas with excellent career prospects such as machine learning, embedded systems, wireless networks or VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration).鈥�

There were 36 students enrolled in the master鈥檚 program for the fall 2024 semester, according to department Chair Ege Engin. As a sometimes male-dominated field, 鈥� We have a promising proportion that one-third are women,鈥� Engin added. 鈥淥ur program is growing fast both in terms of enrollment and our course offerings.鈥�

Taylor is already part of the engineering workforce as an embedded software engineer intern for General Atomics, the San Diego-based multinational defense and technologies company.

Now for the family tradition: 

In August 1998, Taylor鈥檚 mother also accomplished an 色情视频 first as part of the inaugural cohort of students in a dual-degree program Latin American Studies. Patty Taylor remembers finishing what was ordinarily a three year program in just two-and-a-half and emailed the director of the Center for Latin American Studies to confirm.

鈥淵ou were most definitely one of the first, if not the first to graduate with the new concurrent MA/MBA in 1998,鈥� wrote Ramona P茅rez, director of the . 鈥淚t originated the year before so I cannot imagine anyone being able to complete it before you.鈥�
